The Moral Arc by Michael Shermer is a comprehensive nonfiction book that examines how science, reason, and human rights have driven moral progress throughout history. On The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan enthusiastically promoted the publication, holding it up at the conclusion of an episode and recommending it as ideal vacation reading. Dave Rubin and Michael Shermer discussed the work across multiple episodes of The Rubin Report, specifically reflecting on the core thesis that the arc of historical progress has indeed bent toward positive outcomes over time.

Throughout these various podcast appearances, the contributors frequently returned to the book's central premise, which argues that humanity gradually improves its ethical standards through the systematic application of empirical evidence and rational thought.
